The .fla files and .as files for the new Camtasia Studio 4 preloaders are now part of the software installation. This allows owners of Flash 8 to easily customize their screencast preloader experience. In this screencast you’ll get a step by step walk through on how to quickly update one of the preloaders with a branded logo.
If you want to write a preloader from scratch this screencast also briefly discusses the preloader event object that is dispatched by the controller swf.
Screencasts are available for the video iPod as well

A question for you.
If I have a link on a page to a flash flv w/TOC, how do I set it up so the flash comes up in a floating player window sized to the flash w/TOC interface. This would help me because now the flash comes up imbedded in an html page and I have to brand the rest of the page according to the look and feel of the website it’s on. If I could have it pop up in a floating player window, I would only have to brand the look and feel of the flash content, TOC, etc. and not the rest of the web page.
Thanks

This is very cool demo an i got it working but now lets say if i wanted to add a command at like 50% of the movie load, a play button to begin playing it at 50% while the rest of the movie loads
You have accomplished something I have tried to do for long time. How did you get the preloader to load the controls and then start the video and continue the progressive load.
It also looks like you may have used the flash player controls. I am not a flash expert, if you can explain how you did this as this has been driving crazy.
